Just another news weblog

If you want to make money online (and everybody wants that) you need something pretty simple: traffic. The more traffic you have the more money you make. Everyone wants more traffic. Internet Marketing guru, John Reese, has came up a great way to help your blog get more traffic, a widget called Blogrush.

How is works? All you have to do is place the BlogRush widget on your blog and earn a credit each time it is displayed when your page loads. You are rewarded by using your credits to display your blog content on other blogs that use the widget. BlogRush works by taking your RSS feed content and syndicating articles across the network at blogs that are topic-related to yours. Let’s say you run the BlogRush widget and your blog gets 1000 views per day. That means headlines from your blog will be viewed 1000 times on other blogs running the BlogRush widget. What’s more, if you refer another blog to the network and they do 1000 page views per day, you’ll get your headline shown another 1000 times. This goes down for ten generations.

A month ago wordpress released 2.2.2 version. Yestarday they released version 2.2.3. The world’s most important blogging software said that 2.2.3 is a security and bug-fix release for the 2.2 series. Since this is a security release, they suggest users to upgrade immediately.

You have two ways to upgrade: manual you have to copy the new files to your server (you may use FTP or shell commands to do so) or automatic using this plugin from Techie buzz, or this plugin (plugin for windows and linux users) from Zirona. Even you choose the plugin from Techie buzz or Zirona you can find steps for the new installation of the plugin.

I am upgrating manually and if you upgrade with the plugin, I would love to hear your experience.

After announcing the new web 2.0, AuctionAds is making another step to expand. With two new improvements: promote AuctionAds and earn 5% affiliate referrals (they raised from 2%) and second, any new publisher signing up for AuctionAds will get an instant 25$ to his account. If you already sign up and not get paid your account will be credited with 25$ too. But, AuctionAds raised the minimum payout to 50$, so you have to earn another 25$ to get paid.

New publishers just need to sign up and they will receive a balance of $25.00 automatically. Please note if you signed up with us previously and have never earned a payout we will bump your current balance to $25 too! Our minimum payout is also being raised to $50 but everyone who hasn’t earned a payout to date will be halfway there already!

Today I get an e-mail from agloco.com talking about their August update in: revenue, tech and media:

Revenue – We are excited that we have signed one of our major revenue partnerships for North America last week. We will be making the formal announcement later. Getting a major company to work with their own internal system to start to take advantage of the Viewbar’s capabilities is very exciting to us. It will take our partner’s tech team 3 to 5 weeks to complete their work, so you should see changes occurring after that time.

Tech Update The tech team reported that our move to new servers was completed last week. Early reports are faster downloading for most locations. Also, all Member accounts have been updated for total hours accumulated.

Media – We have received a lot of positive emails about Mike Klingler’s interview with Brian Greenwald. In it, Brian talked about the AGLOCO Vision and he answered some questions about the company’s current progress and trajectory. Mike and other Members have worked to make this available to all Members. Here you can listen to the interview.

Login to your account and go to the “Get Code” page. You will notice a sleek new ad design with multiple color schemes to choose from that we think will increase click-through rates to your ads. Stop by and check out our new design of AuctionAds.com where you will notice a cleaner look and feel that’s fun and easy to use!

And seems this is just the start of some improvements that we will see in the next weeks.

A few days ago we find out that pligg is for sale. Now we find out the price for it: $150k. Seems that this price is for domain name (evaluated at $5k) and pligg’s community of 10,000 users. That means we have $15 for each user.
Cheap?
